The Riedel stuff, the base is more than twice as heavy as my old crappy stuff, and they're all perfectly formed. Nothing uber special, just proper. And that makes them wonderful.
Oh and Lee if you have not yet had it one of my fav cabernets is Simi Winery 2003 Landslide Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
P.P.S. it's sommelier.
My dad likes the Simi Sauvignon Blanc which I think tastes like butt.
I will check out the Landslide Cab though. Have you ever tried the 2002 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon. It is around 45 bucks a bottle so I don't get it very often but it is a favorite of mine. I actually prefer the Shafer "Hillside Select" but I have only had it a couple of times as it is $200 a bottle
